The New York Yankees activate reliever Yerry De Los Santos from the IL ahead of Phillies matchup as bullpen issues continue to raise urgency.
The Philadelphia Phillies and New York Yankees are back at Yankee Stadium on Saturday for Game 2 of their weekend series.
The Yankees cut their deficit to 6-5 in the seventh. Anthony Volpe, on his bobblehead night, hit a 340-foot solo shot. Ben Rice had a pinch-hit, one-out single and later scored on Aaron Judge’s sac fly.
It hasn’t been easy for the Yankees since the All-Star break. They split the first six games, and they left Toronto on Wednesday with a bad taste in their mouths because they didn’t gain any ground on the first-place Blue Jays in the American League East race.
